Is this the year the Red Wings miss the playoffs?

The Detroit Red Wings hold the record of all professional sports teams for making the playoffs the most consecutive years. Now it looks like their streak may come to an end. They're 8th in the Western Conference and only one point ahead of Phoenix with nine games left in their abbreviated season. They've been plagued by injuries and have had serious problems getting their offensive lines running well. What say you? Will Hockeytown shut down early for the first time in over two decades?

No, Babcock finally grew half a brain and re-united the Euro Twins. The defense is solid and 9 deep. When Bert comest back our O will explode(1 game 2 goals this season), Helm will be healthy soon. Nyquist is playing like the the stud he will be in the future the 3 and 4rth lines have been preforming all year. We need consistency out of Howard, and Babcock to grow up and we will be just fine.

Don't give up on them just yet. Remember the top eight teams from each conference goes to the playoffs. They could still go all the way.

I hope not, I want both teams in the winter classic next year to have made the playoffs the year before.

Yes because the Blue Jackets will be the 8th team in.

Doubt it. To good of a coach to not get them into the playoffs.
